REMINGTON MODEL 14

I was wondering what people think about this rifle? In my opinion, it was superior to lever actions of it's day. It points faster, cycles shells quicker, and I think, was very well machined.

. . . and it had a tubular magazine with a design which offset the nose of the bullet from the primer of the shell in front of it, thus allowing the use of more ballistically efficient pointed bullets. I have one in .25 Remington that a 90 grain Sierra HP works beautifully in. The 100 grain Nosler BAllistic tip should also do nicely in this gun without messing up the point too badly. These types of bullets turn the old .25 into a reasonably flat-shooting 200 yard deer rifle. The M14 was also adaptable to a low over-bore scope, unlike the Winchester lever series.
